whitepaper Cisco IPICS Enhances Safety and Security at Cisco2007-08-01 Cisco Systems
  Cisco campus in San Jose reaches up to 20,000 people per day. They wanted to manage on-premise emergency response and day-to-day safety and security operations as well as enable location-independent dispatch and collaboration across security operations centers. The challenge was to reduce costs of maintaining dedicated leased lines to Cisco sites for radio communications. Cisco campus deployed Cisco Internet Protocol Interoperability and Collaboration System (IPICS) solutions. This resulted in more rapid response to emergencies, reduced costs of maintaining radio infrastructure and there was better situational awareness from responders, management, and key executives during crisis situations.

whitepaper A Shoelace-Based QoS Routing Protocol for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks Using Directional Antenna2007-08-01 National Chung Cheng University
  This paper proposes a new QoS routing protocol for Mobile Ad hoc NETwork (MANET) using directional antenna. The scheme offers a bandwidth-based routing protocol for QoS support in MANET using the concept of multi-path. The MAC sub-layer adopts the CDMA-over-TDMA channel model. The QoS on-demand routing protocol determines the end-to-end bandwidth calculation and bandwidth allocation from a source node to a destination node. The paths are combined with multiple cross links, called as shoelace, when the network bandwidth is strictly limited. Due to the directional antenna property, these cross links can simultaneously transmit data without any data interference.

whitepaper HTTP Traffic Modeling: Development and Application0000-00-00 Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro
  This paper proposes a new HTTP model, which is based on the concept of aggregated behavior and presents two main advantages: small number of parameters and easy and precise load control. The development and features of the model are detailed. The procedures for evaluation of the model properties are also shown. Examples of the model utilization are shown and results are presented and discussed. This paper presents a new HTTP traffic model based on the aggregation concept. The model development, evaluation and application are shown. In addition to the basic HTTP traffic characteristics, the traffic model has an easy and accurate load control.

whitepaper Well Beyond Streaming Video: IPv6 and the Next Generation Television2007-06-12 Newcastle University
  The Internet has provided a plethora of commercial opportunities, the majority of them arising from advances in software and networking. As the technology evolves in an ever increasing pace, new opportunities are bound to be created. This paper examines how one of these technologies, the 6th version of the Internet Protocol, may affect the Internet and the opportunities associated with it, by looking at one specific emerging application: Internet Television (IPTv). In particular, the paper examines the possible impact and implications of multicasting on television broadcasts.

whitepaper Contention-Aware Analysis of Routing Schemes for Mobile Opportunistic Networks2007-06-11 Association for Computing Machinery
  A large body of work has theoretically analyzed the performance of routing schemes for mobile opportunistic networks. But a vast majority of these prior studies have ignored wireless contention. This paper analyzes the performance of routing schemes under contention. To model contention the paper uses the recently-proposed analytical framework which is applicable to any multi-hop wireless network. Then, it takes into consideration the special characteristics of mobile opportunistic networks and computes the delays for four representative routing schemes for these networks.

whitepaper An Efficient Group Key Agreement Protocol for Ad Hoc Networks0000-00-00 French National Institute for Research in Computer Science and Control
  A Group Key Agreement (GKA) protocol is a mechanism to establish a cryptographic key for a group of participants, based on each one's contribution, over a public network. The key, thus derived, can be used to establish a secure channel between the participants. When the group composition changes (or otherwise), one can employ supplementary GKA protocols to derive a new key. Thus, they are well-suited to the key establishment needs of dynamic peer-to-peer networks as in ad hoc networks. While many of the proposed GKA protocols are too expensive to be employed by the constrained devices often present in ad hoc networks, others lack a formal security analysis. This paper presents a simple, secure and efficient GKA protocol well suited to dynamic ad hoc networks.

whitepaper Discoverer: Automatic Protocol Reverse Engineering From Network Traces2007-05-15 Microsoft
  Application-level protocol specifications are useful for many security applications, including intrusion prevention and detection that performs deep packet inspection and traffic normalization, and penetration testing that generates network inputs to an application to uncover potential vulnerabilities. However, current practice in deriving protocol specifications is mostly manual. This paper presents Discoverer, a tool for automatically reverse engineering the protocol message formats of an application from its network trace. A key property of Discoverer is that it operates in a protocol-independent fashion by inferring protocol idioms commonly seen in message formats of many application-level protocols.

whitepaper Vocalocity PBX: What SMBs Should Know About Deploying a Hosted PBX Phone Solution2007-04-03 vocalocity
  Hosted PBX phone solutions are revolutionizing how Small and Medium-sized Businesses (SMBs) serve their customers, grow their business, and support their employees. Delivering the same enterprise-level, professional phone system capabilities large businesses use at a much lower cost, hosted PBX is helping SMBs save money while putting their customer services on par with much larger organizations. While large enterprises have begun leveraging the cost advantages and robust capabilities of enterprise IP (Internet Protocol) telephony, on-site IP PBX (Private Branch eXchange) systems can require significant initial investment and ongoing operational costs that put them out of reach for SMBs.

whitepaper Beyond Carrier Ethernet: Making Ethernet Performance-Grade2007-04-01 Ciena
  Off late, virtually all new end-user and most new machine-to-machine applications are designed around the Internet Protocol (IP). Within 99 percent of Local Area Networks (LANs), Ethernet is used to carry those IP packets. Furthermore, Ethernet can carry almost all of the remaining traffic that is not IP-based, making it a natural candidate for enabling convergence. This paper is currently at the beginning of a huge ramp in network bandwidth demand due to the low cost of storage and computing power fueling the growth in video and imaging applications. Throughout its history, Ethernet has proven a unique ability to scale to higher and higher bandwidth while drastically reducing the cost per bit.
